Take Home Messages• FDA approval of whole slide imaging is driving

Computational Pathology and AI in Pathology• Informatics is key to impact of Comp Path &

predictive analytics in clinical practice• Pathology and Radiology partnerships need to be

enabled• Key Impact Areas – Predictive Analytics for health

and discovery science via Comp Path!

Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) Workflow

From Bertram and Kopfleish, Vet Path 2017

FDA Approval for Whole Slide Imaging

From Pantanowitz, Path Info Summit, 2017

Computational Pathology – What is it?Computational Path = Big Data Science Meets Pathology• Massive Increases in Volume of Digital Data Generated

from WSI PLUS genomic sequencing data –• Heralds the rise of computational pathology• Critical for Personalized Medicine, Learning Health

Systems, Basic Research and “Big Data/Data Science”

From Fuchs, 2017

Introduction to Whole Slide Imaging

From Saltz, NLM circa 2011

Definition of Computational Pathology• An approach to diagnosis that

incorporates multiple sources of data (H&E, IHC, IF & genomic data)

• Presents clinically actionable knowledge (big data to knowledge)

• Advanced decision support for precision (personalized) medicine

• Helps to redefine Pathology from an observational to knowledge engineering discipline hence critical to healthcare data science (Louis et al Arch Path Lab Med 2014)

Data Types Critical to Success for Predictive Analytics• Imaging – Rich source of computable information

– Need to De-ID WSI and then “deeply” annotate• Phenotype – From Anatomic Pathology Lab Info Sys

– Structured data from synoptic reports– Unstructured data via NLP (Text Info Extract Sys – TIES)

• Computational Pathology Annotation – more later• Outcomes Data – From Cancer Registry Systems• Data to Integrate – Biobanks, Clinical Pathology &

Molecular Pathology

Support for Comp Path – Integration Needed

What is the Text Info Extraction System (TIES)?• An NLP and Information Retreival system for

de-identifying, annotating, storing and retrieving pathology and radiology documents

• A system for indexing research resources (FFPE, FF, WSI) with document annotations

• An GUI for querying large repository of annotated documents and obtaining resources locally, using an honest broker model

• A platform to support data, biospecimen and both Pathology and Radiology images for sharing among networks of cancer centers and other institutions

Causal Network Discovery = Computational PathologyA probabilistic network approach to uncover genetic drivers of melanoma using data on copy number variation and gene expression*

Akavia UD , et al. Cell 143 (2010) 1005-1017.(The figure above appears in this paper)

Presenter
Presentation Notes
In this research, the investigators developed and applied a causal-network-discovery algorithm that uses genomic data (in the form of copy number variation) along with gene expression data to identify those genes that are likely to be causing (driving) melanoma in human patients. Abstract from the cited paper: Systematic characterization of cancer genomes has revealed a staggering number of diverse aberrations that differ among individuals, such that the functional importance and physiological impact of most tumor genetic alterations remain poorly defined. We developed a computational framework that integrates chromosomal copy number and gene expression data for detecting aberrations that promote cancer progression. We demonstrate the utility of this framework using a melanoma data set. Our analysis correctly identified known drivers of melanoma and predicted multiple tumor dependencies. Two dependencies, TBC1D16 and RAB27A, confirmed empirically, suggest that abnormal regulation of protein trafficking contributes to proliferation in melanoma. Together, these results demonstrate the ability of integrative Bayesian approaches to identify candidate drivers with biological, and possibly therapeutic, importance in cancer.

• Emerging method with potential to measure many DNA/RNA/proteins in the same tissue section/TMA

• Structural biomarkers• Quantify biomarker expression
